Another New German 250KG Import

[John D. Bartleson Jr.]

Thank you Kev;
The reason I asked about the explosive filling hole cover is that John "Jack" Howard, the 20th Earl of Suffolk was said to be attempting to remove the cap when his #17 started running again. So was wondering how uch effort was required to remove the cap from the bomb casing. There were no fins still attached.
Does anyone know a publisher that would be willing to publish Kerin Freeman's book "Jack Howard's War", a complete biography of the 'Holy Trinity' and their eventual deaths?
Best Regards,
John

The clue's in your name, well done on comfirming this one for me Yodamaster, I am pleasently suprised and glad I finally have an example of a flambomb in my collection. Thanks to everyone on their comments, I have a few more things to post up in the near future.

Going back to this one after Yoda's post, it now seems clear the one you have a picture of in this post is a KC 250 Flam. Thanks to Yoda for the great photos!! (do you have any of the other type of KC bomb for comparison??)


The dome on the other unit you have would then to me indicate also a KC 250 but in this case filled with gas. The rounded dome being a sealed unit and obviously designed to be under pressure of some kind. (I will add a link to the thread so everyone can get easy access to see what we are talking about)

kind regards Kev
